The first part of the chapter is being used for some backstory, so I'm sorry if it doesn't really fit. Fleur is going to speak in this chapter, but I'm not going to bother with trying to write the french accent, since I'm sure I'll fail miserably.

Hermione does have something she turns in to, but I'm not going to tell yet. I doubt anyone will guess.

Chapter 2

"WHAT THe hell are… you?" Sirius demanded, getting confused as he did. Harry shifted back with a smirk.

Hermione cracked up at Sirius's behavior. They'd quickly found out that Harry could not only inspire positive emotions, but nullify negative ones as well. It was hilarious how the man's fear and confusion had vanished. She had wondered if his ability could deprive his enemies of their ability to use dark curses.

"Me and Hermione-"

"Hermione and I, Harry." Hermione corrected him.

Harry sighed, while Sirius cackled. "Hermione and I looked it up. It's called a Lumentor. Kind of a reverse dementor. They inspire positive emotions like dementors cause negative ones. The Ministry had them wiped out to get their unkillable prison guards."

"Why would the Ministry wipe them out? They seem like light creatures?" Remus asked.

"Because none of their curses worked. As well as one other fact." Hermione interjected, muttering the last sentence.

"What? What do you mean?"

"Literally that. Casting a damaging effect on a Lumentor allows them to reverse the spell, in most cases. It was impossible for the Ministry to control them. And what the ministry can't control, they destroy or subjugate." Hermione said bitterly.

"We always knew that they weren't very effective, but to do something so evil?"

Harry shrugged. "After what's happened over the past few years? First, allowing the Philosopher's Stone to be kept at Hogwarts, despite the students being in danger. Although Dumbledore was mainly responsible for that, we doubt he could have done it without Ministry approval in some form. Not to mention the fact that the Mirror of Erised was in the Department of Mysteries before Hogwarts. One of their artifact rooms.

"Then, second year. Hagrid's arrest and Dumbledore's expulsion. Dumbledore's removal was done solely by Lucius Malfoy's request, while Hagrid was arrested because 'The Ministry has to be seen doing something'.

"Third year with the Dementors, Sirius, and Buckbeak. Don't even get me started on your lack of a trial. Those… no good… jerks." Harry looked angry at his own statement, which were surprisingly soft, for the anger he should be feeling.

Hermione giggled. "Harry can't really be negative even in his human state anymore. It's really funny." After that she let out a loud yelp and glared at Harry, who smirked. "But, he can still cast most spells. Even a few lesser curses. Getting back on subject, the Ministry has made so many mistakes that it almost seems like they're trying to be the most corrupt organization on the planet."

"Before we get to that, what was with that yelp?" Remus asked, confused.

"Um… Uh… I… Harry…" Hermione stuttered.

"What my dear Hermione is trying to say is that my Lumentor form enables me to focus the effect on an individual, causing them to feel positive emotions, depending on how I feel about them. Hermione here experiences powerful orgasms." He looked at Hermione and smiled. His pupils pulsed with light. "Isn't that right, Mione?"

Hermione began to yelp and cry out, once for each pulse of light in Harry's eyes. He didn't stop until she cried out "Yes!"

"There, there." Harry said with another smirk. "That wasn't so hard, was it?"

Hermione tried to glare at him, but could only shiver. Sirius and Remus both cackled. "Gives a whole new meaning to the Potter Look."

"Potter Look?" Harry asked, confused.

"Yeah, it was rumored that James had some special look that could make any girl want him. Magic infused or natural charm. Obviously you've got him beat."

"Actually, this one works mainly on Hermione. Most other girls just get really happy."

"I'll say." Sirius said with a wink.

Hermione glared at him. "Stop trying to corrupt my Harry!"

"Your Harry?" Remus asked with a smile. "I didn't realize you were such a possessive girl, Hermione."

Hermione just sighed. She checked her watch. "I guess it's time." She glanced at Harry and nodded. Harry picked up Hermione. Moments later, Sirius and Remus began to sink into the ground.

"Hey!" They shouted.

Harry just chuckled. "Since the rest of the school doesn't believe me, we've decided it's time to claim my legacy."

"Legacy? Wait, before you explain, get us out of here!" Remus demanded.

"Nope. I'm the Heir to the Marauders. Might as well start off with a prank against the last of the originals." Harry said with a smirk.

"Wha-"

"Just a wandless stone to mud transfiguration."

"Wandless?"

"Seems like my form gives me new abilities. Like wandless magic. Well, have fun! I've got to go treat my new girlfriend."

Harry and Hermione left the two older men half-buried in the cave, then headed into Hogsmeade proper. There, Harry almost emptied his moneybag purchasing Hermione some new books.

Harry fell out of the Floo in Gringotts, followed by Hermione, who daintily stepped out of the flames. "Really, Harry. You need to work on that."

"Right." Harry said with a shake of his head.

They walked up to the nearest counter, where Harry was surprised. "Griphook? Is that you?"

"Hello, Mr. Potter. I'm surprised that you remember my name."

"Why? You were the first goblin whose name I learned."

"It is a rare wizard who remembers the name of a goblin. Regardless, Mr. Potter, your account manager has requested to see you."

"I'm kind of breaking the rules just being here. Can it wait? Tell him or her that I'm very sorry."

"Y-Yes, Mr. Potter. Of course. What was so urgent?"

"I'm out of cash. I need a quick refill."

"Of course. I'll just mark it down on the ledger and then give you some gold from the loan fund. We'll pay it back with money from your vault as soon as possible."

Hermione opened her mouth, but Griphook continued speaking. "No interest, of course. I'll make sure of it myself."

Hermione looked stunned, even as Griphook handed Harry a bag with 100 galleons in it. Together, they Flooed back to the Three Broomsticks, then headed back to the castle.

Later in the common room, Harry was sitting in one of the chairs, with Hermione on his lap.

"Harry, do you have any idea how rare what happened in Gringotts today was?"

"Not really."

"Harry, the goblins have never been on good terms with a wizard, unless a serious amount of gold is going into goblin hands. Even then it's rare. Griphook was… nice. Did you have any part of your body shifted?"

"No."

"I want to look something up, at some point. Also, you should really go visit your account manager at some point."

"Will you-"

"Of course, I'll come with you!"

"Okay, I'll send Hedwig to him with a message."

The fourth year defense class the next day was utterly hilarious, for Harry and Hermione anyway. Moody tried to show the class the darkest of all curses, the Unforgivables. Unfortunately for him, he seemed to be filled with an overwhelming happy feeling and the spell failed each time. The feeling only started when he began the incantation, and ended right after the spell should have begun. He got furious and ended the class before the halfway point of the first part of the class. Since it was a double block, they had a full class and a half to finish their first visible prank.

Harry and Hermione were cracking up in a nearby secret passage. Harry had come up with the plan, and it had worked perfectly. His first class disrupting prank had essentially destroyed the teacher's respectability. It did show a bit about why the Ministry was so scared of Lumentors. If he could disable the most powerful curses that easily in his human state, imagine what he could do in the full form.

Regardless, they immediately went to the Room of Requirement, which they'd learned of from Sirius and Remus, in honor of their first prank. There, they brewed a potion that Hermione had read about.

At dinner that night, it was chaos. Every bite of food turned a person into a different animal. Each change only lasted a minute, but most of the kids were enjoying changing, while others were panicking and refusing to eat. The Weasley twins had been blamed.

Harry and Hermione had enjoyed the prank as much as anyone, especially when Harry had turned into a lion while Ron was in the form of a rat. Hermione had turned into a tiger and the two had cornered the boy, who had shifted back to normal while they were on either side of him. The boy had fled, causing his former friends to crack up when they changed back.

During the prank, and for the next 24 hours, the ceiling of the Great Hall had changed. During the night, the stars had rearranged into words, while clouds did the same in the day. The message was:

"This prank brought to you by Bright and Burn, the Neo-Marauders!"

Harry and Hermione continued to prank people, mainly hitting large groups of people, often including themselves. They hit Gryffindor with the most malicious pranks, as vengeance for their not believing Harry. Bright and Burn had become the new terrors of the school, quickly surpassing the Weasley Twins in the sheer elegance and effectiveness, if not quantity, of their pranks. They had begun a prank war the likes of which had never been seen before.

In Potions class the next day, Harry was waiting for their latest prank to go off when the class was interrupted by Colin Creevey, saying they needed Harry with the other Champions. He'd sighed, but gathered up his things, pecked Hermione on the cheek, and left.

They were halfway down the hallway when there was the sound of a dozen explosions and a scream of "POTTER!" Harry just chuckled internally, while projecting a façade of total calm.

"C'mon, Creevey. Don't want to be late." Harry said, as the boy turned to go see what was happening.

"Ah, I see that the fourth and final champion has arrived." Ludo Bagman said excitedly.

"Let's get this over with. I have things to do and places to be." Harry said with a yawn.

"Mr. Potter, the Weighing of the Wands is an ancient tradition. It is to ensure-" Mr. Crouch said

"Come on! Skip the explanation and get on with it already!" Harry demanded.

"Are we seriously going to allow this little boy to participate in the tournament?" Fleur asked haughtily. She glared at Harry.

I'll show you little boy. Harry grumbled mentally. He concentrated and shifted his eyes. Moments later, Fleur let out a gasp and began to shiver. Harry relaxed, smirking. It was the first time he'd tried to force a specific feeling into someone.

She was still shivering when she handed Ollivander the wand and explained its origins. Harry was struggling not to laugh at the sight. He'd had no idea that the feelings would last this long on her. It was hilarious.

It had continued even after the meeting. She'd shut herself up in a nearby classroom and locked it. Harry wasn't sure what she was doing, but he could sure guess. He broke down and cracked up, before going to find Hermione. Fleur didn't leave the room for almost an hour.

I'm not sure how good the chapter is, but I was using it to answer some questions and explain some stuff.

No, Hermione isn't going to become a phoenix. I have something else in mind.

Harry's Animagus form does grant him the ability to use wandless magic, as well as shift only parts of his body into his Lumentor form, rather than a full change. It has a special Touch, just like the Dementors have their Kiss.

I hope I explained why the Ministry would want to kill off the Lumentors. Basically, they're pretty much immune to magic, and can turn it against the caster.

Harry's just messing with Fleur. I'm kind of doubting it will develop but who knows.

The Neo-Marauders and the Twins. *Shudders in absolute terror*

I'm forgetting to say... something. I dunno. There was something, I just can't remember what.
